COLA changes for 2010
February 6, 2010 by admin
Monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits will not automatically increase in 2010 as there was no increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009.
It's possible your disability benefit was reduced for other reasons. Workers' Compensation and Other disability payments may affect your benefits.
